Treating phone numbers in contact list with username was a brilliant idea (for the spread of mobile messengers like Whatsapp) but also a very horrible idea (for user privacy and everything else). I can't just change a phone number for privacy. My acquaintances will gladly update them with my name, my old and new number, ready for Zucc to scoop them up in a fucking silver plate.

Burner phone to anything that requires communication. Erase metadata of anything that will be shared and uploaded online.
There was a civilian airplane that mistakenly drifted into Soviet airspace and was shot down back in the 1983, killing everyone on board. Pilots can train for scenarios requiring manual operation, but that doesn't mean they should only rely on human perception, especially when it involves other people's lives.
Same can be said for any field, academic or not. For example, it won't do any good to dismiss cancer awareness campaigns because doctors have been saying about it for decades. It's for the public's benefit, and everyone deserves privacy.
Whenever I bring up the issue all I get is blank stares of "how can you not be excited if you work with computers?". I just wanna scream.
It was surreal watching BBC report on a game mod. I saw the thumbnail 'Fallout London Delay' with the BBC logo and thought there was a terrorist attack or something.
I'm aware cock.li is for the meme edgelords, but what about purelymail?
Had fun playing FO4 back then, but gotta agree it had some major weak points. They didn't improve from the FO3 and the constructive criticisms. They simply rode the gravy train Obsidian set with New Vegas. FO76 and Starfield's failure to captivate public's interest is a reflection of that.
This will backfire independently of the political or security justifications. Many Chinese scientists were put under surveillance, stripped off their academic positions and faced deportation during Red Scare, and this directly contributed to China's nuclear and space program.
Can't wait for it to die and wither out. But I know they will retain a big pool of users on hostage like reddit or fb for a while.
Think of the poor corporations, man! Have you no soul?
